A standoff between West Kelowna RCMP and a distraught man ended peacefully last night at Barona Beach Resort on Pritchard Drive North.
The incident began shortly after 4:00 pm Sunday, when police were called to the condo complex for reports that a 35-year-old-man was armed and alone inside his unit.
Residents of the surrounding apartments were evacuated, and others in the area were asked to stay inside their homes as police negotiated wth the man.
RCMP were able to take the man safely into custody at around 9:00 pm - there are no reports about what may have sparked the incident.
Corporal Jesse O'Donaghey says "RCMP wish to extend their thanks to the general public for their support and assistance, and especially to those residents evacuated from their homes, or asked to remain inside, for their patience and understanding during what was a very dynamic situation.”
Residents were allowed back in their homes shortly after the man was apprehended.
